OpenGL.  :-)

But wxD is coming along.
and DFL seems to have a following.

I don't know of any others that are actively being worked on.

Truckloads.  The best bet would probably be to look at what other 
bindings are out there and see if anyone is doing it in a way that would 
work for D too.  For instance SWIG wrappers won't help D.  But an 
approach that involves creating an actual C API to wrap the library 
will.  For instance with wxD, the C-bindings to wxWidgets are shared by 
D and the C# bindings.

Maybe the Qt bindings for C# are using the same wrap-with-C approach?
Found this: http://cougarpc.net/qyoto/
but I couldn't find any info about how they gen the bindings just that 
"it's automatic".
